Spitfire

The motherboard in spitfire is a consumer ASUS P5NT Deluxe, featuring a Core2Quad CPU at 2.66GHz. 8GB DDR2-800 (PC2-6400, CL 5-5-5-18) is installed, filling all RAM slots. There are three PCI-E slots: 1st PCI-Ex16 has 3Ware RAID controller; 2nd PCI-Ex16 has Intel quad-NIC; 3rd PCI-Ex16 has HP SCSI controller. At initial deployment (June 2008), motherboard/RAID refuse to talk about MBR/1st-stage boot; workaround is to grub-install to a USB thumb-drive.
